Members Shooter McGavin Posted December 18, 2011 Members Report Posted December 18, 2011 Just wrapped up a Caiman tail inlay holster. I call this model a dual snapcake. This one is for the XD 9/40 Service model. Front piece is 2 layers of 4-5oz Hermann Oak. The piece that was removed for the inlay window was trimmed 1/4" on each side then glued to the inside piece of leather to create a "puff" for the exotic. It was beveled heavily with a French Edger before the caiman was glued on top and then the top piece of HO leather. It takes a few minutes to figure out the plan to stitch this all together. The rear piece of the holster is 8-9oz Hermann Oak. Fiebings Pro Oil Dye in black, then a 2:1 ratio mix of Springfields Pro Clear and water. Feel free to comment or ask questions. Thanks for looking Quote Zlogonje Gunleathers
